Capturing the SARS-CoV-2 infection pyramid within the municipality of Rotterdam using longitudinal sewage surveillance.
de Graaf M, Langeveld J, Post J, Carrizosa C, Franz E, Izquierdo-Lara RW, Elsinga G, Heijnen L, Been F, van Beek J, Schilperoort R, Vriend R, Fanoy E, de Schepper EIT, Koopmans MPG, Medema G
Despite high vaccination rates in the Netherlands, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) continues to circulate. Longitudinal sewage surveillance was implemented along with the notification of cases as two parts of the surveillance pyramid to validate the use of sewage for surveillance, as an early warning tool, and to measure the effect of interventions. Sewage samples were collected from nine neighborhoods between September 2020 and November 2021. Comparative analysis an...

Gauge your phage: benchmarking of bacteriophage identification tools in metagenomic sequencing data.
Ho SFS, Wheeler NE, Millard AD, van Schaik W
Background: The prediction of bacteriophage sequences in metagenomic datasets has become a topic of considerable interest, leading to the development of many novel bioinformatic tools. A comparative analysis of ten state-of-the-art phage identification tools was performed to inform their usage in microbiome research. Methods: Artificial contigs generated from complete RefSeq genomes representing phages, plasmids, and chromosomes, and a previously sequenced mock community containing four phage sp...

The emerging roles of long non-coding RNA in host immune response and intracellular bacterial infections.
Arunima A, van Schaik EJ, Samuel JE
The long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are evolutionarily conserved classes of non-coding regulatory transcripts of > 200 nucleotides in length. They modulate several transcriptional and post-transcriptional events in the organism. Depending on their cellular localization and interactions, they regulate chromatin function and assembly; and alter the stability and translation of cytoplasmic mRNAs. Although their proposed range of functionality remains controversial, there is increasing research ev...

Background: Sudden cardiac death is responsible for 10% to 20% of all deaths in Europe. The current study investigates how well the risk of sudden cardiac death can be predicted. To this end, we validated a previously developed prediction model for sudden cardiac death from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study (USA). Methods: Data from participants of the Copenhagen City Heart Study (CCHS) (n=9988) was used to externally validate the previously developed prediction model for sudden card...

Engele LJ, van der Palen RLF, Egorova AD, Bartelings MM, Wisse LJ, Glashan CA, Kiès P, Vliegen HW, Hazekamp MG, Mulder BJM, Ruiter MC, Bouma BJ, Jongbloed MRM
In the transposition of the great arteries (TGA), alterations in hemodynamics and oxygen saturation could result in fibrotic remodeling, but histological studies are scarce. We aimed to investigate fibrosis and innervation state in the full spectrum of TGA and correlate findings to clinical literature. Twenty-two human postmortem TGA hearts, including TGA without surgical correction (n = 8), after Mustard/Senning (n = 6), and arterial switch operation (ASO, n = 8), were studied. In newborn uncor...

Event-driven spectrotemporal feature extraction and classification using a silicon cochlea model.
Xu Y, Perera S, Bethi Y, Afshar S, van Schaik A
This paper presents a reconfigurable digital implementation of an event-based binaural cochlear system on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). It consists of a pair of the Cascade of Asymmetric Resonators with Fast Acting Compression (CAR-FAC) cochlea models and leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) neurons. Additionally, we propose an event-driven SpectroTemporal Receptive Field (STRF) Feature Extraction using Adaptive Selection Thresholds (FEAST). It is tested on the TIDIGTIS benchmark and compare...

Ventura D, Schindler P, Masthoff M, Görlich D, Dittmann M, Heindel W, Schäfers M, Lenz G, Wardelmann E, Mohr M, Kies P, Bleckmann A, Roll W, Evers G
We aimed to evaluate the predictive and prognostic value of baseline 18F-FDG-PET-CT (PET-CT) radiomic features (RFs) for immune checkpoint-inhibitor (CKI)-based first-line therapy in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. In this retrospective study 44 patients were included. Patients were treated with either CKI-monotherapy or combined CKI-based immunotherapy-chemotherapy as first-line treatment. Treatment response was assessed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors...

Engineered cell-based therapies in ex vivo ready-made CellDex capsules have therapeutic efficacy in solid tumors.
van Schaik TA, Moreno-Lama L, Aligholipour Farzani T, Wang M, Chen KS, Li W, Cai L, Zhang YS, Shah K
Encapsulated cell-based therapies for solid tumors have shown promising results in pre-clinical settings. However, the inability to culture encapsulated therapeutic cells prior to their transplantation has limited their translation into clinical settings. In this study, we created a wide variety of engineered therapeutic cells (ThC) loaded in micropore-forming gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel (CellDex) capsules that can be cultured in vitro prior to their transplantation in surgically debul...

Thoomes E, de Graaf M, Gallina A, Falla D, Stathi A
Background: The Cervical Radiculopathy Impact Scale (CRIS) and Patient Specific Functional Scale 2.0 (PSFS 2.0) are patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) used to assess activity limitations in patients with cervical radiculopathy (CR). This study a) compared the CRIS subscale 3 and the PSFS 2.0 in patients with CR with respect to completeness and patient preference, b) established the correlation between both PROMs in assessing the individual patient's level of functional limitations an...

Background: Central nervous system (CNS) metastases are present in approximately 40% of patients with metastatic epidermal growth factor receptor-mutated (EGFRm+) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor osimertinib is a substrate of transporters ABCB1 and ABCG2 and metabolized by CYP3A4. We investigated relationships between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) ABCB1 3435C>T, ABCG2 421C>A and 34G>A, and CYP3A4∗22 and CNS treatment efficacy of osimertinib...

Neural network based integration of assays to assess pathogenic potential.
Eslami M, Chen YP, Nicholson AC, Weston M, Bell M, McQuiston JR, Samuel J, van Schaik EJ, de Figueiredo P
Limited data significantly hinders our capability of biothreat assessment of novel bacterial strains. Integration of data from additional sources that can provide context about the strain can address this challenge. Datasets from different sources, however, are generated with a specific objective and which makes integration challenging. Here, we developed a deep learning-based approach called the neural network embedding model (NNEM) that integrates data from conventional assays designed to clas...

Breel JS, Wensing AGCL, Eberl S, Preckel B, Schober P, Müller MCA, Klautz RJM, Hollmann MW, Hermanns H
Background: The coagulation system is crucial in the pathogenesis of infective endocarditis and undergoes significant changes during course of the disease. However, little is known about the implications of those changes in the perioperative period. Aim of the present study was to delineate the specific coagulation patterns and their clinical consequence in patients undergoing cardiac surgery due to infective endocarditis. Methods: In this single-centre, exploratory, prospective observational st...

Background/objectives: The most frequently reported ocular finding in the acute phase of the multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), is conjunctivitis. More rarely, punctuate epitheliopathy, anterior uveitis and optic disc oedema can be seen. We aimed to investigate the acute and long-term ocular effects of MIS-C. Subjects/methods: Cases aged 1 month to 18 years who were diagnosed with MIS-C between January 2022 and June 2022 in the Department of Pediatric Infectious Diseases in o...

Background: Escherichia coli is an opportunistic pathogen which colonizes various host species. However, to what extent genetic lineages of E. coli are adapted or restricted to specific hosts and the genomic determinants of such adaptation or restriction is poorly understood. Results: We randomly sampled E. coli isolates from four countries (Germany, UK, Spain, and Vietnam), obtained from five host species (human, pig, cattle, chicken, and wild boar) over 16 years, from both healthy and diseased...
